Agile is a very wide umbrella and most often what people are complaining about is when they join a team that is using SCRUM in a rigid way without actually thinking about the process and how better tailor it to the team.

If you look at all of the processes, tools and ceremonies available to ou from various agile methodologies - you can tailor things to your liking.

I was in teams where scrum actually worked, up to and including the story-pointing and backlog-requiment giving us accurate estimates of how long features will take to develop.

And then we had more ad-hoc/timely work for some quarters and we dropped most of the plan/sprint/refine structure in favor of more simple kanban board.
